Just wondering if anyone is prepared to share eba/contract information?
I'm thinking of applying (advertising again in Sep 16) but before I do so I would love to know about the rostered hours like minimum hours per roster and max hours, flying hours, are there rosters or are you on call all the time being casual.
Any info you are willing to share would be great

Spare a thought for other airlines where you are learning 4+ different aircraft types in GS, not here where there is just 1 aircraft.
I found that the equipment component to be the hardest, more so the theory not the practical. Make sure you are well versed on the correct preflight checks, operation, and precautions on all equipment to the best of your ability, ESPECIALLY with your 'Super Six'. You may also need to know the locations of the aforementioned as well.
But generally speaking, if your GS instructor has any handouts or homework, do them! Take the time to continually refresh your knowledge of the manuals (use millions of sticky notes), and continually quiz yourself using other members of your GS, and reciprocate to them likewise.

The sheer volume of information you have to take in is quite daunting, but it's definitely not impossible to learn all the content. Remember how many hundreds of JQ crew that are out there at the moment. They all successfully passed all those exams, and if you study hard, pay attention in GS, manage your workload, and pray a little bit too, there's no reason why you should fail any of the exams.

Hi, I'm so glad I found this thread! I've just started my application for ADL base, and have been invited for a video interview. I've never done one of these before - does anyone have any tips? Does Altara use this video interview to gauge who progresses onto an AC? Thanks!

Thank you so much slipspace, you have put me at ease. It is very very daunting! Especially coming from the first week which was so relaxed. And I just stress, hehe... yes trying to remember all that equiptment is quite hard :/ but I am defiantly looking forward to happier days at the end of this week.
